Re: Replacing the “Fuel Sock”?

I pulled the sending unit to check the tank, the sock was mostly gone, I removed what was left and replaced the sending unit. I opened the filter again last week and its about 1/4 full again. Here's a picture with a coin to judge the particle size.
I had same issue in my last truck, clogged the fuel pump, filter and made its way to the carb. I would clean them out and it would reappear, took me for ever to figure out what it was. It’s an easy replacement and should be at the top of the “ to do list” if it’s never been done.
